DETROIT, MICH, April 7.-Exact
figures on the Prohibition amendment
are still unknown. Slowly the majority
against the amendment has been cut
down, but 10 is thought unlikely that it
will go much further. All the published
reports vary more or less, ranging from
1850 TO about 5000.
The Evening journal to-day gave tho
former figure, and says: "The prospect
OF its passage is now extremely favorable,
il not probable"
The Free Press has figures giving an
anti-Proh bition majority about twice
that of the journal, and expresses the
opinion that IL will remain ther eabouts.
About 1000 votes higher, or in the
nelghborho0d OF 1000, is where the Trib-
une places it.
From several counties the reports are
conflicting, in some cases varying 500 TO
600 votes, and official returns will be
needed to settle which is correct. The
Prohibtionists do not yet concede their
defeat. An important factor In the pro-
hibltlon campaign was the temperance
element that doubted the effectiveness OF
that measure. There is little doubt that
the temperance voters defeated the
amendment.

FLORIDA LAWS.
Anxiety to Have Them Interpreted
Correctly.

COTEcCbtys
sUMTERvILLE, FLA, April 4.-Now
that our law makers are in session
the next two months will be notably
the most important in the history
of our State. There is great desire
on the part of our people that the
new constitution as adopted shall be
operative. Some OF the laws that should
have gone into effect are In a somewhat
confused state, there being different in
terpretatiOns Of the same. For example
The State Comptroller when asked il
the Clerk OF the Court or the County
Judge should issue marriage licenses after
Jan. l, 1887, according to the new consti-
tuition, gave 1t as his opinion that the
right was vested IN the County Judge.
His opinion not being final, the Attorney
General was asked, aad held that the
right was still in the Clerk Of the Court.
His decision was that 'tbe County Judge
OF the new constitution, with the iurls-
dlction and powers thereto attached, Will
not become operative until made effective
by the LEGISLATURE as provided therein"
There was also a difference OF opinion
upon the existing liquor license laws.
There are in the new constitution many
laws that will be obnoxious, but taken as
a whole 1t is far superior TO the old con-
stitutlon.
Sumter county is represented IN the
Senate by Hon. George NJ. Lee, and in the
lower house by II. IL. Duncan and NJ. w.
d. Chapman, OF whom we are justly
proud. Our county being largely Demo-
cratic, We enjoy the privilege OF choosin &
our best material TO represent us.
The appointment of Circuit Judge is,
perhaps, the most absorbing theme. The
gentlemen most prominently mentioned
are the present incumbent, Thomas II.
King, of GAINESVILLE; w. A. Hecker, OF
Lees6urg (this county, }, and Col. Taylor,
also OF Gainesville. Opinions are divided
as TO who will wear the judicial eTmine.
Either OF these three gentlemen will give
satisfaction, as they are all of them
learned in the law, and in the judgment
and wisdom Of our noble Governor the
people have implicit faith.

CHICAGO, April 7.--Dr. w. n. Will
liams, of No. 1862 Vernon avenue, had a
narrow escape last evening from death at
the hands of an infurated Anarchist.
He was called to attend the 7-year-old son
of Frank Moeck, the boy having beenrun
over by a Thirty-frst street car. Dr.
Williams. who is employed by the street
railway company, was engaged in ampu-
tating the boys leg when the father,
who had heard of the accident,
arrived home. Moeck was furious
when he saw DR.. Williams, and was i'm
bued with the idea that he could have re-
venge on the corporation by killing the
doctor. Selling pistol he leveled it at
the physician. but it failed to explode.
The doctor escaped through rear win
dow, carrying sash and all with him, but
returned later with two other medical
men and finished the amputatiOn, Moeck
having been induced to see the necessity
of 1t by the expostulations of nelghbors.
